I'm on the boat tonght. :)

I'm all packed and ready. The car however isn't. LOL It was still in pieces when I left it late last night but it should all be sweet come 6pm tonight.

I still need to find some helping hands down in Tas (especially for day 5) but hopefully we can find someone friendly enough to help some blokes out.

I'm quite happy to carry fuel, and have tools for you to use.

I thought you were running Ben? You guys are on the list!

But we have tools and I have a handy guy with them sitting next to me for the week but my calcs show we won't live off just getting fuel at the lunch break each day.

I my pretty sure Day 3 after Mt Rowland, Day 4 after Cethana and Day 5 both before and after Mt Arrowsmith I'm going to need a top-up. Dan should hopefully be able to help us out days 3 and 4 but he can't be in 2 places at once on Day 5! lol

Yeah I have, they hurt when thrown by a man. So I reckon I'm safe. :laugh:

There are a few things in this world that you dont mess with...a mates Mrs .... fark off dogs with foam dripping from their mouths... vag with foam dripping from it..... AND Snowies right arm. Its a precision instrument, he clocked me in the head from about 30mtrs with a lemon, AFTER a night on the bottle. I am sure if he was sober it would have taken my head clean off :)

I heard they'll be placing a fuel rig between Queenstown and Arrowsmith mate. Maybe contact race control to get the facts?

Interesting. The BP in Queenstown is no longer there so that option was gone, and I've signed up for fuel with the Vandenbergs but thay have only listed having fuel in Tarraleigh on day 5 currently. I will see what I can find out about this rumour of yours. Be great if it was true!

My name hasn't been changed on the site yet, but i'll be crewing for dad. So i'm sure you will need fuel at the same places as dad, and you will be at a similar place in the pack.

Vandenbergs always say they're only having fuel at Tarraleigh, and always end up having a splash and dash spot at the intersection after the Strahan stage before you enter Queenstown.

I heard they'll have rotating full tankers on Arrowsmith Stage for rolling refuels of the guys running E85. :ermm:

I'm setting up refuel 5klm before the end of Arrowsmith. $20- a litre. For E10.

my $10/l E85 is looking pretty cheap about now.

E85 guys will need a fill on the arrowsmith start and finish line.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
